Identity prediction errors in the human midbrain update reward-identity expectations in the orbitofrontal cortex

Responses in the dopaminergic midbrain are known to signal prediction errors for reward value. Here, the authors show that the human midbrain also encodes errors in predicted reward identity, and that these signals update expectations of reward identity in the orbitofrontal cortex.
